Will Surrey Edge Out Yorkshire to Reach the Finals? 

Surrey beat Northamptonshire by 1 wicket in a closely fought third quarter-final while Yorkshire knocked out Kent by 11 runs in the fourth quarter-final. The two teams are now set to clash in the first semi-final of the Royal London One-Day Cup 2016 at Yorkshire's home ground - Headingley, Leeds. The match will be played on August 28 and live action is scheduled to begin at 11 AM local time.

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for the first semi-final of the Royal London One-Day Cup 2016 between Yorkshire and Surrey...

Venue and Toss

Headingley offered decent batting conditions in the two group games that were played here this year. It's just that Yorkshire have batted poorly to get dismissed twice for 170 and 167 in their respective fixtures. The wicket has normally remained good for batting throughout the course of a match, and so the team batting first will want to have at least 270 on the scoreboard.

Since it will be a morning start, the bowlers could utilize whatever dampness there is to be in the pitch and the cloud cover (if there's any) should help the bowlers find some swing early on. So the toss-winning captain may look to field first on Sunday.

Surrey's chances of a win will increase if they win the toss and bowl first. But the match could tilt in Yorkshire's favor if they post something around 280.

If Yorkshire Bat First

Prediction: Around 250

They have been batting well since their last six games, scoring thrice over 300 and at least 250 in each of them. But with Willey injured and with Root and Bairstow gone to play for the national team, Yorkshire are left dependent on the likes of Lyth, Lees, Ballance and Bresnan to post another 250+ total. Adam Lyth is currently the fifth best batsman in the tournament with 435 runs. He top-scored in the quarter-final and could top-score again in the semi-final.

Yorkshire may not feel comfortable facing Jade Dernbach who seems to be undergoing a purple patch at the moment. He has been the most impressive bowler for Surrey, picking up 13 wickets in the last four games including a four-for in the quarter-final. Stuart Meaker and Tom Curran are two other seamers who could do well here. Off-spinner Gareth Batty is among the top 10 bowlers this year and he will come into play in the middle overs. It will be a huge blow for Yorkshire if they lose Lyth early on, handing Surrey a great opportunity to restrict their score to below 250.

If Surrey Bat First

Prediction: Around 270

They have also been very good with the bat, 279 being the lowest total in their last four matches. However, they have lost their best batsman Jason Roy which is going to put extra pressure on Davies, Sangakkara and Burns. Sangakkara's heroic knock of 130 took Surrey over the line in the quarter-final and he should be backed to top-score on Sunday. The big runs will have to come from these three if Surrey are to reach the predicted score.

The absence of Willey, Plunkett and Rashid is going to take some shine off of Yorkshire's bowling attack and Surrey will be looking to take full advantage of this. So Tim Bresnan will be expected to take wickets while Steven Patterson will be given the charge of maintaining pressure from the other end. Yorkshire are also going to rely on the off-spin of Azeem Rafiq who will need to throw in some tighter spells. If the hosts are able to get Surrey's in-form batsman Sangakkara cheaply, they could be chasing a total much less than 270.

Yorkshire vs Surrey Head-to-Head

Yorkshire and Surrey have faced each other only once in the history of the Royal London One-Day Cup. Their only match-up was played at the Oval last year when Surrey got the better of Yorkshire by 6 runs in a Group A game.

Our Prediction

Surrey have never played at Headingley before, and this being Yorkshire's home ground should put the latter at an advantage. But Yorkshire have underperformed here and faced heavy defeats in both their group games this year. They have now lost their last three matches at this ground and have been beaten five times in the seven games they have played here till date. Surrey, on the other hand, have beaten Yorkshire once and they will be coming into this match on the back of four successive wins. While the latter were eliminated in the semi-finals last year, the former went on to finish as runners-up.

Yorkshire are surely going to enjoy the benefit of playing in familiar conditions, but Surrey look a slightly better side this year and so we're predicting them to win this semi-final.
